Types of Uterine fibroids
There are several different types of fibroids that can grow in a woman’s
uterus. Some cause more problems than others, depending on whether they
are found on or in the uterus, as well as their overall size. Before you can
begin to decide what type of treatment options to discuss with your doctor
regarding your fibroids, you must first learn what type you suffer from. Here
are the most common fibroid tumors most women have to deal with:
The Subserous Fibroid
Subserous fibroids are the most common type of fibroid women
experience. They typically grow on the outer wall of the uterus and often
become bigger (and more painful) just prior to menstrual bleeding as the
blood supply top the fibroid increase. Because of the location and size of
this type of fibroid, they often make the uterus grow – sometimes as big as
a watermelon. This can cause other health issues, which we will discuss in
more detail later.
The Submusocal Fibroid
Found deep within the uterus, this type of fibroid can be very difficult to treat
with anything but surgery. They cause severe bleeding (often to the point of
hemorrhage), and excruciating pain as the uterus actually tries to expel or
“deliver” the fibroid from its cavity.
